PSA: All that crap after the ? is tracking bs and unnecessary so really your link only needs to be this long:

Thanks for the thoughtful reply!

This happened many years ago now and I don't have contact info for them or much desire to find out if they're less of an asshole now. I would've thought if they were interested in returning it to me they would've done so at my request back in the day so I imagine asking again now wouldn't make much of a difference.

I'm not too broken up about it; a much better friend who heard the story got me a used GBA and a couple of games for my birthday a while ago so I've managed to rebuild some of my collection. Mostly just upset that someone who stole from me called my character into question when I requested my stuff back. It made me feel like all the time I'd spent helping them with their issues was a waste of my time seeing as they were so quick to make me responsible for their own bad behavior.

A friend in college gave me his Gameboy Advance SP and some games, and I'd collected more games over the years. I lent everything to a coworker and then I was home sick when said coworker moved away and took it all.

Could've left it at work, could've left it with a mutual friend. They were coming back for a visit so I asked if they could bring it and they accused me of not caring about them, only the gameboy, so they did not give it back then either.

It was a huge bummer because I was on THE LAST LEVEL of Pokemon Sapphire and now it's too expensive for me to get another copy. I'd also told the guy who gave it to me originally that he could reclaim the GBA and his games if he ever felt inclined but thankfully that has not happened since I wouldn't be able to return them now.

I've had other belongings stolen from me in the past but it was the accusation that trying to reclaim my property meant I did not care about the person who stole from me that really grinds my gears even now. I'd spent a lot of time trying to help them through some difficult life stuff long before I ever lent them the console.

We've got fantastic cars, the best cars. They've got all the best parts; windows, air conditioning, leather... nice leather seats. You like leather? I've got a leather couch in my penthouse. White leather, very classy. JD says it chafes but I think it's classy. Made in Germany, you been to Germany? Magnificent couch makers in Germany. And they've got nice cars in Germany but nothing like these cars, we've only got the best cars on this lot. You driven a folkswagon? Wonderful family car, you can fit all your kids in this car, great for kids I'm told. You have kids? I've got my daughter Ivanka, she fits on my lap in this car, it's very roomy. Ivanka? No, she's 42. Very beautiful, everyone agrees, very beautiful, magnificent smell. She smells like the women's changing rooms at Macy's, almost as good as the smell of a new car. You ever test driven? I've never driven myself, they'd be asking all the time, drive here, drive here, drive there; can't get away. They always want me to drive but I say no, I don't drive, never felt like it.

Someone told me recently that it's to prove the person prescribed the adderall is the one who is actually taking it (to prevent resale).

Edit: rereading the thread I realize you might be questioning why they're being drug tested for THC regarding their adderall prescription. I don't have an answer for that so, if that was your actual question, I apologize for the confusion.

But the real question is do you, as a white person, associate sulfur with the odor from rotten eggs?

I have a specific bag that lives in the hamper and I put socks straight into it so no chance of running out of mesh bags or losing socks in the hamper :)

I wash all my socks together in a mesh laundry bag and then dump it out into the dryer. Much faster than trying to match wet socks when moving the load.
